Sketch of the intrinsic magnetization $m\left(z\right)$ (red) (not to scale) of one-dimensional (a) Néel and (b) Bloch (not used in the calculations) domain walls in the order parameter $n\left(z\right)$ (green). The equilibrium magnetization profile was calculated from Eq. (14). We note that the magnetization is so small that in a one-dimensional system, the domain-wall spin must be treated quantum mechanically. However, for higher-dimensional extended systems, the total spin of domain walls could be of appreciable size because the intrinsic magnetization is additive in the perpendicular directions.
